Local Office Removals Expertise in Surrey

Based in Surrey, we know the local business parks, high streets and residential areas extremely well. This helps us:

• Plan access routes and parking for busy town centres and business estates
• Coordinate with building management for lift access and loading bays
• Schedule moves to avoid peak local traffic where possible
• Support businesses moving within Surrey or relocating into/out of the county

Whether you are moving a small office in Guildford, a high-street practice in Woking or a larger operation in a Surrey business park, we bring genuine local knowledge to your move.

• Landlords clearing or setting up furnished offices and workspaces
• Businesses of all kinds – from solo consultants to larger teams

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Initial Quote

You contact us with basic details: current and new addresses, floor levels, size of team, preferred dates and any deadlines. We provide an initial indication of cost, timeframes and availability, and arrange a survey so we can give you an accurate, fixed quotation.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

One of our experienced surveyors will assess your office layout, access, parking and quantity of furniture and equipment. This can be done via video call or in person. We discuss your preferred schedule – weekend, evening or phased move – and any special requirements such as IT decommissioning or crate hire.

3. Packing & Preparation

Depending on the service level you choose, we can provide:

• Full packing – our team packs everything, including IT, files and kitchen contents
• Part packing – we handle bulky items and IT; your staff pack personal items
• Crate hire and materials – labelled crates, boxes and protection supplies

We use appropriate materials for IT and furniture protection, and agree a labelling system linked to your new floor plan, so everything arrives where it should.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our trained removals team arrives on time, protects floors and communal areas, and begins systematically loading. Desks and furniture are dismantled where required, IT is wrapped and protected, and vehicles are loaded in a logical order. Your goods are transported in purpose-built removals vehicles, with goods in transit insurance for added reassurance.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new premises, we unload in line with your agreed floor plan. Furniture is reassembled, crates and boxes are placed in the correct rooms, and IT is positioned ready for your technical team or contractors to reconnect. We can also provide crate collection and an unpacking service by arrangement.

Transparent Office Removals Pricing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume and type of furniture and equipment
• Access at both locations (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle)
• Travel distance and any congestion or parking constraints
• Number of staff and vehicles needed
• Service level – standard move, professional packing, evening or weekend work

Your written quotation will clearly list what is included, any optional extras and any assumptions (such as parking availability). There are no hidden surcharges – any potential additional costs, like parking permits or out-of-hours building access fees, are discussed in advance.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van

Attempting an office move with a casual man-and-van or relying solely on your staff can be risky and disruptive. With Surrey Movers you benefit from:

• Trained teams experienced in handling IT, furniture and business-critical items
• Efficient planning that minimises downtime for your staff
• Appropriate equipment – trolleys, ramps, blankets, straps and protection
• Fully insured vehicles and crews, giving formal protection for your assets
• Structured labelling and placement, avoiding days of confusion after the move

Professional office removals are designed around continuity of your business, not just moving boxes from A to B.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your business assets are valuable, and we treat them accordingly. Surrey Movers operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance for your furniture and equipment while being moved
• Public liability cover for work carried out in your buildings
• Trained, uniformed staff experienced in office and commercial moves
• Method statements and risk assessments where required by building management

We follow industry best practice for lifting, packing and transport, and can work alongside your IT, facilities and health & safety teams to ensure everything is properly coordinated.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to balance high standards of care with a responsible approach to the environment:

• Use of reusable moving crates where possible to reduce cardboard waste
• Protective covers for chairs, screens and furniture to prevent damage
• Thoughtful loading to minimise movement in transit
• Options for furniture reuse or donation, and responsible disposal if needed

Our crews are trained to treat your premises and equipment with respect – protecting walls, lifts and flooring and leaving both old and new offices tidy.

Real-World Office Removal Scenarios We Handle

Complete Office Relocation

Moving your entire business to a new site, often over a weekend, with coordinated packing, transport and set-up so your team can log in and work again as quickly as possible.

Internal Office Moves and Reconfiguration

Rearranging teams between floors, consolidating space or creating new meeting and collaboration areas. We handle dismantling, moving and rebuilding furniture within the same building.

Urgent and Time-Sensitive Moves

Short-notice office exits due to lease changes, rapid growth, or changes in working patterns. Where our schedule allows, we can deploy teams quickly to help you move out safely and on time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do office removals in Surrey cost?

Pricing depends on the size and complexity of your move, access at both sites and the level of service required. A small office with a handful of workstations will cost considerably less than a multi-floor relocation with significant IT and archive content. After a survey, we provide a clear, itemised quotation with a fixed cost based on your specific requirements. This will outline what is included, any optional extras such as packing or crate hire, and any assumptions, so you can budget accurately with no unpleasant surprises.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

We understand that circumstances can change quickly – lease issues, unexpected growth or urgent dilapidation works can all bring forward move dates. Where our schedule allows, we can accommodate same-day or short-notice office removals in Surrey. The sooner you contact us, the more options we will have for vehicles and crews. For urgent moves, we focus on essential items first – workstations, IT and key storage – and can return for non-critical contents if needed. We will always be honest about what is realistic within your timescales.

What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?

We provide goods in transit insurance for your office furniture and equipment while it is in our care, as well as public liability cover for the work we carry out on your premises. This offers formal protection in the unlikely event of damage or incident during the move. Full details and limits of cover are available with your quotation. If you have very high-value items, specialist artwork or sensitive equipment, let us know during the survey so we can ensure appropriate arrangements or additional cover if required.

What’s included in a typical office removals service?

A standard office removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, crates, IT equipment and boxed items between your old and new premises. We protect furniture and IT, dismantle and reassemble basic items where necessary, and place everything in the correct rooms or zones at your new office. Many clients also add packing services, crate hire, out-of-hours moves and internal reconfiguration as part of the same project. Your written quotation will spell out exactly what is included so there is no uncertainty about what we will do on the day.

How is a professional removals company different from a man-and-van?

While a man-and-van can be suitable for very small, informal moves, an office relocation usually demands more structure and protection. A professional removals company like Surrey Movers provides trained crews, appropriate equipment, fully insured vehicles and a planned process from survey through to completion. We understand building rules, access restrictions and the need to minimise downtime for your staff. We also offer proper documentation, risk assessments if required, and the capacity to handle larger volumes safely. This level of organisation and accountability is rarely available from casual transport providers.

How far in advance should I book my office removal?

For most office moves, we recommend booking at least four to six weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific weekend or out-of-hours slot. This gives time for surveys, building approvals, IT planning and staff communication. Larger or multi-phase moves may require longer lead times. However, we know that ideal notice is not always possible, so we will always try to help with shorter timeframes where our diary allows. The earlier you get in touch, even if dates are not final, the easier it is to secure your preferred moving window.
